Serena's POV

I was invited to the council meeting and Naneth was not. I lay by Ada as everyone takes their seats. Then Grandpa stands to start the council meeting about the One Ring. "Strangers from distant lands. Friends of old. You've been summoned here to answer the threat of Mordor. Middle-Earth stands upon the brink of destruction. None can escape it. You will unite or you will fall. Each race is bound to this fate, this one doom" he tells us.

"Why is there a mutt here then?" the man of Gondor asks and I growl at him. Ada pats my head gently calming me down.

"This is Serena and she is a spirit wolf" Grandpa explains. "Now back to why we are here, bring forth the ring Frodo" he instructs. The hobbit Naneth and I saved comes forward carrying a ring on a chain. He places it on the table in the middle of the room and I immediately felt the dark power coming from it.

"In a dream" the man of Gondor states standing up drawing everyone's attention. "I saw the Eastern sky grow dark. But in the West, a pale light lingered. A voice was crying, 'The doom is near at hand, Isildur's Bane is found'" he explains and starts reaching for the ring.

"Boromir" Ada states sternly, but the man does not stop.

"Ash Nazg Durbatuluk, Ash Nazg Gimbatul, Ash Nazg Thrakatuluk, Agh Burzum-ishi Krimpatul" Gandalf says in black speech standing up and everyone goes silent. (Rough translation: One Ring to rule them all, One ring to find them; One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.) I whine as my head hurts from the evil of the ring. It had grown when Gandalf spoke it's language, but it's gone back to normal now.

"Never before has anyone dared utter words of that tongue here, in Imladris (Rivendell)" Grandpa states.

"I do not ask for pardon, Master Elrond, for the Black Speech of Mordor may yet be heard in every corner of the West" Gandalf tells him.

'The Ring is altogether evil' I add speaking in everyone's heads. Everyone except Gandalf, Grandpa and Ada look at me in shock. 'I only speak when I have something important to say' I state shrugging.

"It's a gift. A gift to the foes of Mordor. Why not use this ring? Long has my father, the Steward of Gondor, kept the forces of Mordor at bay. By the blood of our people are your lands kept safe. Give Gondor the weapon of the enemy. Let us use it against him" Boromir suggests.

"You cannot wield it. None of us can. The One Ring answers to Sauron alone. It has no other master" Ada states.

"What would a ranger know of this matter?" Boromir asks and I growl.

'This is no mere ranger' I tell Boromir, but so that everyone can hear as I stand up.

"He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn. You owe him your allegiance" a blonde elf adds standing up also. I give him a grateful look.

"Aragorn? This is Isildur's heir?" Boromir asks unimpressed.

"And heir to the throne of Gondor" the elf adds and I nod my head in agreement.

"Havo dad Legolas, Serena" Ada tells the elf and I in elvish. (Translation: Sit down Legolas, Serena). The elf sits first and I send one last glare at Boromir. Before sitting at Ada's side resting my head on his lap as he patted me.

"Gondor has no King. Gondor needs no King" Bor0mir states as he sits back down and I growl at him.

"Easui Serena" Ada whispers in elvish (translation: Easy Serena).

"Aragorn is right. We cannot use it" Gandalf states agreeing with Ada and I wag my tail.

"You have only one choice. The Ring must be destroyed" Grandpa tells us.

"Wait are we waiting for then?" a dwarf asks picking his axe up and approach the ring. He swings his axe down, but it breaks sending pieces of metal flying. I use my power to slow time and jump in front of the dwarf as we were blown back. I yelp as a piece of metal impacts my side.

"Serena!" Ada shouts and runs to my side. He takes the piece out and I heal myself. But that doesn't get rid of the blood on my fur. "Im'm afraid a fós will gar- na darth-" he tells me gently as Grandpa scolds the dwarf. (Translation: I'm afraid a bath will have to wait.) I also missed want Boromir said, but it seemed to have started an argument between men, elves and dwarves.

I heard Frodo's small voice trying to say something, but no one else heard him. I stand tall and let out a single howl. 'Frodo wishes to speak' I tell them all and nod to Frodo who smiles at me in thanks.

"I will take the ring to Mordor, though I do not know the way" Frodo tells them.

"I will help you bear this burden Frodo, as long as it is yours to bear" Gandalf assures him.

"By my life or death, I will protect you" Ada tells Frodo. "You have my sword" he adds as he stands beside Gandalf.

"And you have my bow" Legolas states standing on Gandalf's other side.

"And my Axe" Gimli states standing beside Legolas holding his broken axe.

"You carry the fate of us all little one if this is want the council wishes. Gondor will see it done" Boromir states standing behind Gimli.

'You  have my powers and protection as well' I state for everyone to hear going to Gimli's side.

"Hey Mister Frodo isn't going anywhere without me" an other hobbit states suddenly appearing between Ada and Frodo.

"No indeed, it is hard to separate you both. Even when he is invited to a secret council meeting and you are not" Grandpa states. He tried to look stern, but I saw the tinkle in his eyes.

"Oi we're coming too" an other hobbit states as he appears with an other. They stood between Frodo and I. "You'll have to send us home tied up in a sack to stop us" he states.

"Besides you need people of intelligence on this sort of mission, quest thing" the other states with crossed arms.

"Well that counts you out Pip" the other one states and I let out a wolf like chuckle.

"Ten companions, so be it" Grandpa states looking at us. "You'll be the fellowship of the ring" he announces.

"Great where are we going?" Pip asks and I let out an other chuckle. Grandpa gave me a look as he ended the meeting and I knew he wanted to talk. So I follow him as he leaves and leads me to his study.
